Platonic level (Metaphysical Principles):
Positive mutable air is extroverted, outgoing, and playful, yet easily restless, constantly seeking new experiences to satisfy its curiosity and sharp intellect. Gemini has an agile nature that acts as a link between opposing perspectives. Gemini represents the principle of duality.
Jungian level (Psychological Principles):
Gemini, known for its multifaceted interests, places great value on curiosity and possesses the agility to seamlessly transition between various subjects. This inherent dynamism, particularly pronounced in intellectual and social contexts, has a tendency to be more rational than emotive.
Mythic level (Mythic Deities and Figures):
Greek Gods: Castor and Pollux
Castor and Pollux are twin half-brothers in Greek mythology. Upon Castor’s death, immortal Pollux chose to sacrifice half of his immortality so they could spend eternity reunited. Their nature is defined by their deep bond and mutual support, symbolizing the balance between opposing forces. These qualities are reflected in The Lovers archetype, which represents harmony, connection, and the choices that must be made in the pursuit of unity.
